Tower World Records

JP Midgley stacked 8 butter packets and 5 Splenda Packs in 39.21 seconds, a world record.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stacked five plastic bottle caps upside down into a freestanding column in 2.04 seconds. With the caps spread out on a desk in front of a phone stopwatch, Yanhao starts the clock, sets each cap open side up on the one below, and stops the clock as soon as the fifth is on top. RecordSetter read 00:02.04 on the stopwatch close-up and timed the gap between the two taps on the video to confirm it, then watched the little tower stand on its own while the camera circled it. Five caps, wrong way up, in about two seconds.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stacked five plastic bottle caps upside down into a freestanding column in 3.15 seconds using only one hand. The caps start in a row on a desk in front of a phone stopwatch, and the same right hand starts the clock, sets each cap open side up on the one below, and stops the clock once the fifth is on top. RecordSetter read 00:03.15 on the stopwatch close-up, checked that the other hand never enters the shot, and watched the column stand on its own until the clip ends. Five caps, wrong way up, one hand.

Kai Yi Lim stacked five dice into a tower in 0.73 second.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stacked five square plastic bottles on their sides into a freestanding tower in 2.80 seconds. With the bottles lined up on a desk beside a phone stopwatch, Yanhao starts the clock, sets four empty clear bottles one on top of another over a yellow bottle with liquid inside, and stops the clock as soon as the fifth is in place. RecordSetter read 00:02.80 on the stopwatch close-up and timed the gap between the two taps on the video to confirm it, then watched the tower stand untouched while Yanhao showed that a top bottle was empty. Five bottles, one tower, under three seconds.
